August 15, 2008

Since new year the Music Centre has done so much stuff it’s been all too much for yours truly to actually remember to blog about (I know, I have failed you all… but be patient, I’ve been concentrating my time on good things that will benefit you all, so it’s not all bad!)

So, Spring Term… highlights:

One World Week – lots of group performances from the Music Centre groups

Wind Orchestra performed with 200 or so school children in “Yanomamo”

Brass Band welcomed back legendary Tuba player Steve Sykes to perform with them in their concert

Symphony Orchestra and Chorus put on a stunning performance of Verdi’s Macbeth Opera (as concert performance) and welcomed international soloists to perform the lead roles, as well as impressive performances from our own students!

MTW put on Little Shop of Horrors in the Cooler which was recieved with great enthusiasm

Big Band, Chamber Choir & Brass Band have all toured this summer and Big Band are once again attending the Alma Jazz festival in September. The Brass Band are off to Harrogate for the National Finals as well so there’s been plenty of action over the last few months!!

Looking forward to the new term – Free Concert 7th October in the Student Union Tent (more details to follow), Dido and Aeneas by Warwick Student Opera, Chamber Choir and Chorus in Coventry Cathedral and much much more!!
